For the Lonely - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2011) You break into a thousand pieces everytime you fall Every little bit is smaller than the one before Breaking rules with you makes me feel special Not that I need anyone to prove me so Breaking the locks for the lonely Stopping the clocks just for silence Even the world’s not quite ready Caught in the queue of compliance The science is so astounding I’ve never heard the words you say when you speak you Condoning every silence making you seem bound, somehow Happiness is just around the corner I feel it bubbling up into my veins Breaking the locks for the lonely Stopping the clocks just for silence Even the world’s not quite ready Caught in the queue of compliance The science is so astounding Breathing in and breathing out Catching the moments in between the doubts I’ve heard this coming from miles and miles away I told you so’s not the right thing to say Breaking the locks for the lonely Stopping the clocks just for silence Even the world’s not quite ready Caught in the queue of compliance The science is so astounding Mmm mmm mmm

Jellybean - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2011) I choked on a jellybean Oh was it a sight to see My face swelled and it turned purple Matched the jellybean My pet died just yesterday It was a goldfish now it’s grey I should be saddened but I’m not Much to my krill’s dismay The world could turn upside down The skies around us could turn brown So many things aren’t what they seem So many nightmares are not dreamed These folks think danger can’t be found Though it is lurking all around So many things they do not notice I could have a child with otis Badapbaps I live in a teacup full of candy hearts Patiently I wait for my blue avatar Mmm My heart tells me it’s a dream This is not real, it is obscene, There’s nothing like the recreations Of dramatic scenes The world could turn upside down The skies around us could turn brown So many things aren’t what they seem So many nightmares are not dreamed These folks think danger can’t be found Though it is lurking all around So many things they do not notice I could have a child with Otis Badapbaps I live in a teacup full of candy hearts Patiently I wait for my blue avatar To free me (to free me) To free me (to free me To free me (to free me) To free me To free me The world could turn upside down The skies around us could turn brown So many things aren’t what they seem So many nightmares are not dreamed

Les Ombres - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2010) Shadows in the night Make things the way they like Sometimes when they’ve had enough They hide, I envy Warm lights lift their spirits up and away Cool breeze help them when they say May we survive clouds, Please all through the day We promise come nighttime We’ll be on our way Those shadows deceive us Lies live in our midst How have we created a worlds such as this Help us, be honest Just give it a try Please trust me, I promise You won’t likely die Tell me when you’ve had enough Don’t hide, you’re lovely Warn me when you find it tough Don’t mask your worry Shadows in the night Make things the way they like Sometimes when they’ve had enough They hide, I envy Warm lights lift their spirits up and away Cool breeze help them when they say May we survive clouds, Please all through the day We promise come nighttime We’ll be on our way Those shadows deceive us Lies live in their midst How have we created A world such as this Shadows in the night Make things the way they like

Pessimist - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2009) You are the pessimist You bring us down Everyone’s angry when you are around You are so negative You can’t stop fighting You are the only one left in the ring How can we help you, You need it so bad This is the last of the choices you’ve had You have to cooperate Don't drag us down Don’t disappear though, we need you around Oh oh oh oh When you first feel Your thoughts are going under Just ask yourself Why do you bother? How will they help you How will they lead you through? You are a part of us We need you strong You need to jump off the coaster you’re on You sent out your message It’s blatantly clear You’re not so happy When you’re forced to be here When you first feel Your thoughts are going under Just ask yourself Why do you bother? How will they help you How will they lead you through? You are the pessimist You can’t stop fighting You are the only one left in the ring

Snowglobe - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2011) I’ve always loved how I feel When I come in from the cold Feeling the way the warmth gives you tingly toes Playing the music you love With the people you trust I don’t see how it can get anymore fabulous The world is a snowglobe A fantasy land You’re meant to control the snow A miracle by your own hand A miracle by your own hand I’ve always taken to being the one Who toys with your feelings When you are holding a gun You must relax and enjoy The life you’ve been handed I’m sure if you do Everything will end up How you planned it The world is a snowglobe A fantasy land You’re meant to control the snow A miracle by your own hand A miracle by your own hand I often wonder why it’s taken me so darn long To write a new draft And toss the one that’s been so wrong I’ve acquired a new outlook on life And how one should live it Find joy wherever you can And learn to embrace it The world is a snowglobe A fantasy land You’re meant to control the snow A miracle by your own hand A miracle by your own hand

The Old Guitarist - Lyrics by Sara Rose (2010) The old man guitar in hand Had a song in his heart Played til he was 98 Folks would stop to hear him start There was a idffernt story with every piece he wrote And the words just flowed The old man guitar hand Was wise but forlorn He tried to keep the children laughing But his fragile bones were worn When he reached for the familiar strings He could not recall a note And the words would not flow These were only things he’d read about And heard about in song No memory of who is was Or which way to turn for home The old man guitar in hand Had a song in his heart Played ‘til he was 98 He could not recall the part As time continued on The man stared at the sea His whole life was gone And dead in his memories For the songs that he once wrote And the stories he had told Had been erased so suddenly The old man guitar in hand Had a song in his heart He until he met fate Which advised him to depart
